“Best Burgers within 100 miles”

If you are out and about maybe hiking the PCT or jumping off Rocks at Aztec Falls in Lake Arrowhead. You will always want to finish at Cedar Glen Malt Shop. Best burngers within 100 miles.

We'd never been to Lake Arrowhead before. After taking a 2 hour ATV tour we walked next door to the Cedar Glen Malt Shop. The atmosphere is ok, nothing special. The menu is simple (basically burgers fries malts/shakes and a few add ons...what more could you want) and cute, different car names for each of their burgers and a whole...

That's why you would want to go to this place. The burgers are okay, but not great. The variety of burgers is good, but the burger patty itself, leaves a lot to be desired. The fries that come with the burgers are not great either. Food is mediocre

My husband and I go here every so often and we love their food! We have not tried a lot of the items on the menu because we found a few things we love:
FOOD:

Going to the CG Malt Shop is like time travel to the sock hop age. Fantastic burgers and fries! The milkshakes are the BEST! Get ready to loosen your belts after your meal. A true treat for guests, visitors, and family every time.
